Frequently Asked Questions
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
Even though we want to live in an ideal universe where everyone learns through history, it's not possible to learn more from our failures.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
Changes are inevitable, and you will eventually realize why you made them.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
You shouldn't give up on trying again. That's a sign that you have learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Acknowledging your mistakes is the first step. Look at your mistakes objectively, and then ask yourself: "What lessons have I learned?"
You'll find that mistakes can be viewed as lessons if you are honest with yourself. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. He used every failure as an opportunity to improve the design.
He also invented the most widely used form of lighting, which is still in use today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. Use them.
And then try again.
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We fail to learn from the mistakes we make. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. They cannot be changed.
This makes it difficult to think critically. From challenging authority. From challenging assumptions. And when we don't question, we don't grow. When we don't learn, we stagnate. If we stagnate, then we make the exact same mistakes.
History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes. History repeats itself when we refuse to learn from past mistakes and instead keep repeating them.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. There is no set in stone. All things are in constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things can go wrong. To accept the possibility of failure. To accept that failure is a possibility.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
To achieve freedom, you must be open to change. If you want to progress, you have to give up control.
What are three things you can learn from history?
There are many examples in history of how we can learn from our failures. They can be applied to current business challenges, and transformed into opportunities for growth.
The past teaches us there is always another way. You will always find someone who thinks outside of the box and takes chances that make them stand out.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. You can look back at those times when the underdog won.
Look to the past and find ways to bring the lessons forward into the future. Learn from the successes and failures of others.
These lessons can help increase your success rates.
What can our failures teach us?
Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. You'll learn something. You can also learn from your mistakes. So don't sweat the small stuff because there's nothing wrong with making mistakes. We all make them.
Although you might feel embarrassed by a mistake you made, it doesn’t matter how bad you feel. What matters is how you deal with those mistakes. If you allow them to get in the way of your growth, they will eventually eat away at your inner self. Instead, see them as an opportunity for growth and you'll be stronger.
It is important to recognize and learn from your mistakes. Don't dwell on it; instead, focus on the next step. Keep moving forward.
Do not obsess about your mistakes. Instead, find ways to improve. Learn from your failures and make improvements for tomorrow.
Successful Inventions made by accident
Inventors make mistakes. But, how we handle those mistakes will determine if our inventions become great successes and failures.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Every invention was designed. There are no accidental inventions.
An invention is a deliberate act. An intention to create something. Something that solves the problem. It makes someone's life easier.
However, the key to creating a successful invention is understanding how nothing happens by accident. Instead of trying to avoid making mistakes, learn from them.
We would love to tell you that invention is simple, but it's not. Invention is hard work. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
It means you have to spend a lot more time thinking about and trying out different ideas. What is it that people are most concerned about? What are they looking for?
You have to ask yourself questions like these. These questions will help you decide what type of product or service to develop next.
This is possible only if you let go any preconceived notions. Preconceived notions about what the world needs or wants are not valid. You have to listen carefully to your customers and potential customers.
You have to learn what they want. They are not what they say they want.
Once you know what your customers want, it is time to create a way for them to get it. Here's where invention really begins.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
Ferdinand de Lesseps created the Suez Canal in 1869. This was his dream to connect Europe and Asia. To accomplish this, he had to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), to allow ships from Europe and Asia to reach India/China. The process involved building several locks and dams. He traveled to Egypt several times and negotiated financing with Khedive Ismail Pasha. But, upon his return to France, it was discovered that Napoleon III has been overthrown and the Second Empire has taken over, with no interest in such a large-scale project. He was there for three years before the French government offered to finance the project. After the British had been defeated at the Battle Of Omdurman during Sudan War, 1859 saw them sign a treaty which allowed them to enter the Red Sea through the Suez Canal. It was completed in 1869.
The project opened up trade routes to increase international commerce and helped many countries develop around the world, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Africa.
In addition, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel much quicker than before. It used to take weeks, if not months, to cross the Isthmian Peninsula. Now, it takes only days. People could visit Paris, London or Rome without the need to cross dangerous storms or endure long sea voyages. The Suez Canal also reduced the distance between North America, Europe and almost 3,000 miles, making it much easier to travel back and forth. These advantages made the Suez Canal one of the most important transport projects ever.
However, the Suez Canal also caused problems because it divided the Ottoman Empire into two parts, eventually leading to the First World War. During the war, the British used the Suez Canal to attack Germany, but the Germans attacked Britain using their version of the canal. Although the Suez Canal fell under Egyptian control at the end of World War II, the British maintained their control over the land to either side.
After the Second World War, both sides continued to trade through the Suez Canal until the Arab-Israeli War in 1948. Both sides initially resisted the temptation to attack each other in fear of being forced to use force. Israel took over the Sinai peninsula of Egypt from Egypt in 1967. In that year, all shipping except military vessels was prohibited from the Suez Canal. The closure lasted four years until President Sadat reopened the canal to civilian traffic in 1973.
